Have you ever wanted a place to go where you can ask other people on the same path as you specific questions about growth, monetization, and what’s working now?
Maybe they’ve found some new strategy or an interesting way to keep their subscribers happy.
Yea, me too. That’s why I created Growth In Reverse Pro.
What’s Inside
This is an application-based community for people who have been running newsletters and are looking to scale up or focus more heavily on their growth in 2025.
In short, here are some of the things you can expect:
1. Private Online Community
Join a community of passionate creators building their newsletters to have real conversations about growing a newsletter – what’s working, what’s not, experiments we’re trying, etc.
This is the place where you can ask specific questions you won’t find the answers to on Google.
The community and events live inside of Circle, which is accessible on desktop as well as through the Circle app.
2. Expert Guest Workshops
Through putting together loads of deep dives, I’ve built up a network of people who know quite a bit about building audiences and growing newsletters.
And I’m bringing some of these folks come share their ideas and methods for growth with us. This might even include some folks from past deep dives.
Here’s what our calendar looks like recently:
3. Live Community Calls
Regular calls to ask questions, get feedback, and generally just share what’s working.
We’ll also bring together people with similar audiences or using similar tools can come together and talk about what’s working.
Whether it’s a dedicated Substack call, or a braintrust around LinkedIn growth, there are lots of specific calls happening each month.
4. Opportunities to Collaborate
We’ve already had a few posts about running cross promotions with other members and it’s getting great engagement.
I’ve seen a number of cross promotions happening between Pro members newsletters and I hear they’re going great!
5. Group Challenges
Group Challenges are where we work on the same type of project for 30 days. This includes accountability calls and opportunities to get feedback on your work along the way.
January was our LinkedIn Challenge – we have a leaderboard and lots of live sessions sharing what’s working, etc.
The next challenge launches next week and it’s all around getting better with Sponsorships.
We’ll have 3 live calls and a dedicated space to get feedback along the way.
I’m also sharing some behind-the-scenes stuff around what I’m seeing work, etc.
Here’s a preview of that:
It’s definitely been something that has been a worthy investment for me, something that I think very rapidly was able to pay back that investment. So yep, double thumbs up!”

Here’s what else is coming for Growth In Reverse Pro:
- Member-led learning sessions where we learn from each other about experiments we’ve tried and what’s working.
- 1:1 member matching where I can group two people together and you can collaborate and meet others in the space.
- Community Roasts where we jump on a call and offer feedback on social posts, subject lines, etc., and why they did or didn’t work well.
And so much more. People are in there all the time helping one another with anything content related.
If that sounds good, let’s go – I can’t wait to welcome you in there!
GIR Pro is THE community to be in if you want to build a personal brand, a newsletter, or a solo business.
The value for money is insane, so join before Chenell gets back to her senses and adds another zero to the price.”

And you’re looking for a place to share ideas and grow your newsletter and business alongside others doing the same.

“Joining Growth In Reverse Pro has been a total unlock for me.
I’m solving problems in days that would have taken me months to figure out solo. The detail, insights, and problem-solving here are unreal. Plus, everyone in the group treats this like a real business, not a hobby, so there’s a whole different level of winners mentality and commitment.
GIR Pro has seriously leveled up how I approach the newsletter space.”
This community is for creators, founders, and entrepreneurs growing a newsletter built on quality content, not fly-by-night AI newsletters (no offense to them).
I’ve written deep dives on over 65 top creators, and every single person has gotten to where they are in some way based on the relationships they’ve built.
I’ve seen this with my own growth journey too. Early on, my friend, Jay, shared a link to my newsletter in his and I went from ~23 subscribers to 81. That was HUGE for me at the time.
Some of the subscribers he sent me went on to share my newsletter as well, and so on and so on.
I’ve wanted to create a space where those relationships can be built more intentionally. A place where we can help each other with growth, the quality of our content, or even just to have a support system to reach out to when you need it.
That’s why I’m building this community. If that sounds like the place for you, you can join here:

I live outside the US, what time will the calls be scheduled?
I’m working on trying to be the most accommodating for all time zones, but it is challenging. Right now, it seems like around 11am to 12pm EST is the time that works best, but I will try to schedule other calls at different times to make sure everyone has a chance to join live. I realize this isn’t a great solution, but if you can’t make some of them, most of the calls will be recorded as well.
Why do you only have annual payment plans?
A community is an investment, not only of money but also time. I want to be able to invest that time into members throughout the year and not have people jumping in and out. By having everyone commit to a year, you’ll get to know other members and not be worried they’re going to disappear in a few weeks. Plus, it feels more settled, and I like that.
How much time should I plan to invest each week?
This isn’t a course or list of tasks for you to check off each week – it’s a living, breathing resource. You can spend 20 minutes in there, or you can spend a few hours a week interacting with members, joining live calls, and sharing ideas. The goal is that you’ll find something to test out, a helpful conversation, or an experiment to run and you can go do that thing instead of (and report back of course!)
If you have any questions, ask them below:
I’m looking forward to welcoming you into the community!
